| A year or so ago I witnessed an older Korean woman lift up her dress and proceed to take a shit into a paper cup while on a busy subway platform at Shindorim Station. |
...that is a talent!
I believe it...sindorim is my least favorite station on my least favorite subway line...saw a guy on monday take off his shirt, proceed to spin it round n round in the air, jump up and down while counting down 3, 2, 1! over and over again...longest 12 minute wait yet....
....I must admit, I carry a pee bottle for my son (not quite 3) when we travel though just in case...I only do so because he had an accident one day last spring because we didn't make it to the bathroom at the station, and it gets dumped when we get to the next available restroom... |

| I have to admit, I just lost my appetite. But, definitely interesting reading. I haven't seen any of this in Korea yet, hopefully I never will, especially the #2 incidents. But, while traveling China I loved the pants that kids wore with the hole in the back so they could easily do a #2. It was fantastic. I witnessed a dad helping/assisting his one year old kid to pee in the streets of Kunming in Yunnan once though. |

I remember this post! A great story I have shared with a few people!

I once planted a pine sapling along an empty patch of roadside near the edge of Seoul. Not terribly secluded, in full view of passing traffic. Went back a couple days later, and what do I find?
No tree sapling, but a hole where I'd planted it, a thrown-away shiny plastic shopping bag, and an ajuma-sized human turd. I suspect a musician did it. It was saxophone-shaped.
Now, of course this could have happened anywhere in the world. In terms of it being physically possible, sure. Anywhere. Not suggesting otherwise. But then... there's just something about that particular arrangement of clues.... The uprooting and making off with a pine tree??? The littering of polyurethane "fancy goods" packaging. And of course the fairly high-public-profile dumping in the Great Outdoors. I dunno, that combination just says "Korea" to me for some reason. |
I wonder if this thread is a comment on Korean culture or rather more on the state of Korean bathrooms? 
I had only been here for two or three months before I saw someone 'dumping' in the street. Just outside a restaurant. Actually it was a family. Pa was dumping, boy was peeing and Ma was assisting boy. Didn't stick around to see what happened next. |

My mate and I were in Popeye's for lunch today. Suddenly, his face turned white. I looked over my shoulder to see what was so shocking.
There was a kid, standing on a table, peeing in to a paper cup. His mum was supporting him while he did it. What makes it especially bad in my opinion is that there was a bathroom just ten meters away.
I have NEVER witnessed such a thing anywhere in the world. The wierd thing is, no one else seemed particularly shocked.
I know that kids often have to GO, and just can't hold it, but there's no excuse for that kind of behaviour when there's a toilet just around the corner. |
I wonder what the woman's reaction would've been had you accidentally bumped the table. |

| What about a homeless-looking woman taking her pants off to pee in a small garden next to a subway station enterance like I saw the other day? Is that a common Korea thing or just a common homeless person thing? |
Homeless thing. Saw that all the time in San Diego. |
